They weren't certain but felt that it would not and that perhaps retail division had it's own upgrade planned. They then sent me to LEGO Retail division. I spoke w/ someone in software issues. He said that he supports 1.1 and since he is at LEGO REtail, the upgrade must work on the retail kit. Sort of a round about way to say that yes the NXT-G 1.1 works on the retail kit.

As one of the beta testers, I've ended up installing version after version, and sometimes installing temporary patches until the next beta version comes out, etc. And all this on a machine that was also used for testing the very first versions of NXT-G as well, and with some custom VI's that others have developed over the past couple of years thrown in, etc. (like "Remove Broken Wires", a wonderful little tool).<BR/><BR/>In short, while I've tried repeatedly to make sure my "clean install" were truely "clean", in some cases I already know they weren't, and I'm curious what's in the released version of 1.1.<BR/><BR/>As to "useful hacks", well... adding menu items/option in the Tools menu (by dropping carefully scripting VIs into the /engine/projects/ directory), adding 3rd party blocks (both from folks like Hitechnic and individuals like Guy Ziv or Steve Hassenplug), or even just taking out or changing icons, images, or sounds from various places to "see what happens". There's a lot of untapped hacking in the wonderful open folder structure of the NXT-G /engine/ directory...<BR/><BR/>-- <BR/>Brian DavisBrian Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18309361462316728701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21402852.post-32013374359588318262007-08-24T09:03:00.000+10:002007-08-24T09:03:00.000+10:00the driver software is also on the cd in the nxt_d...the driver software is also on the cd in the nxt_driver directory<BR/><BR/>TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11395229904887900423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21402852.post-83516604334651723752007-08-24T08:53:00.000+10:002007-08-24T08:53:00.000+10:00You can install the new 1.1 version without the or...You can install the new 1.1 version without the original installed, but you still need to have the NXT drivers/connection software already installed.<BR/><BR/>TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11395229904887900423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21402852.post-30152615710039753322007-08-24T08:45:00.000+10:002007-08-24T08:45:00.000+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11395229904887900423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21402852.post-43040369585187874132007-08-24T06:46:00.000+10:002007-08-24T06:46:00.000+10:00Brian Davis you say that you hack your version of ...Brian Davis you say that you hack your version of NXT-g 1.1 would you please exsplain more about hacking it and help us do that do of if its worth it and what kinds of hacks you have done.<BR/><BR/>EthanEthan Steckmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09124890733347294887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21402852.post-33035202762152412692007-08-24T06:30:00.000+10:002007-08-24T06:30:00.000+10:00Question, is this an upgrade only or a full releas...Question, is this an upgrade only or a full release of the new version?
